Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - What if Vince Young drop at no. 53. Do we pick him up

Last year, there was some contentious debate up until the moment of the pick whether to take Alex Smith or Aaron Rogers with the first overall pick. The 49ers chose Smith, and Rogers (who sat next to Smith in the Green Room) went... 24th, to the Packers.

Will Young fall to 53? No, but that doesn't mean that someone isn't going to fall precipitously. There are as many draft experts as there are mock drafts, and the only consensus is that Bush will go first. Probably. Somebody in somebody's top twenty will be available at 53, so this isn't as crazy a topic as it sounds. The question becomes do we take the best player available if that position is absolutely solid? If LenDale White is there, do we take him? If Senorice Moss is there, do we take him? In the days leading to the draft, anything can happen. Young could have an interview saying he wants to race motorcycles in the offseason, and be available in the second. Leinart could twist his knee coming out of a chi-chi nightspot and slip in the draft. Reggie Bush could join the Klan, and, well, still go number 1.

Point is, anything can happen.
